Horse Speed + Acceleration

[Tyrell]

Nothing needed to be changed. Horses are pretty damn fast in real life, and cavalry tear up non-pike infantry. Terrible change.

[Tears of Destiny]

CRPG just gets worse and worse, im done with it.

Good bye, hope you find a game that suits you.

Also, this topic should be called horse acceleration not horse speed, two different things.

only one thig is clear then: we need a RECAP post by devs on what is intended, where they want to go and what are the options they are taknig into account...
i ve never seen such a big one day topic lol.

Badplayer still dominates with this cav "Nerf" I love all these cav rage quiting crpg because their easy mode got a nerf.

as a cav player for many generations and with an heirloomed horse the low end acceleration needs to be increase dramatically.  Taking awhile to get to top speed is alright, but at low speeds it should be MUCH more responsive.  in 2-3 steps a horse can get about half speed. right now its just walking, not even trotting or rouncing

hmm didnt notice realy any differance but still.

This, I actually like the basic idea of a more nuanced form of acceleration than just press W for top speed, but the way it is now is ridiculous.

Have you been playing on Pecores? I made the same mistake, the cav update isn't yet on Pecores server.

Well you do have jars for eyeglasses so...

Horse speed was also nerfed. And seeing as I ride a courser, that's what I noticed first.

Plus I thought the point of WSE was that they'd be able to separate manoeuvre, acceleration and speed?

I don't mind a slightly less top speed, but right now acceleration is down in the dumps. As soon as you get stopped you are dead because, as someone else pointed out, 2h can get 3-4 swings on your horse before you get out of range again. And with the amount of hilly village maps that are on EU servers, that happens an awful lot.

That's also why I've been 1 shotted by Longbowmen and Crossbows so much suddenly. Because there are so many hills around you can hardly move if you get stuck on one. And no matter how much you weave, the fact you are almost at a standstill means you can't avoid it.

nah 2day only been playing for like5 min so yess:D

  83body armor+ 27str+7IF and i get one hit by couch by a dude going 15kmh on a rouncey.... surprised big time

[Digglez]

also these accel changes mean some naked peasant can prevent a horse from moving from a standstill, which is just plain wrong.  any horse can easily knock someone out of the way to get going, just pushing off with their back legs

over just put a poll on and see what the outcome is

[Leshma]

Whatever outcomes is, you guys will walk

But to be honest, I already miss you on the battlefield...

Isn't really something you can poll

There are to many possibilities and changes that could be made.

Part of the problem is that devs have gone for the 'nerf horses' in a major way direction. When it's been said that will never work by plenty of people in the past. There are several different classes of horsemen just as there are footmen. If you nerf horses to much you could serious screw over one class, whilst others may hardly notice it and it won't matter to much to them.

Nerfing horses should be gentle, not extreme. And then if different classes of cav need to be nerfed then it should be approached differently.
